Chapter 28 second quarter

Gu Fan was much calmer than I imagined. Probably because of the good relationship with Bin in the past, I preconceived that Gu Fan was a wretched and nasty rat, or at least a pompous little boy with a superficial appearance.And when this kind of person knows that he may encounter disaster at any time, it is natural to be terrified, and maybe he will cry, pray for God's blessing, or return the ghost to the ghost - the overall image is probably similar to that of a full-fledged cat. The cockroaches in the house are almost the same. But I was wrong. This is actually a ridiculous mistake.It means that what I underestimated was not Gu Fan, but Bin—the second boyfriend of a woman who can make Bin love to death, it is impossible to be so despicable.

Gu Fan stood in front of the living room window, his burly body almost blocked all the sunlight outside.I walked to the near side, and what I saw was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth.He turned around and looked at me, bowing his head slightly in greeting, his eyes as calm as water. For a single man who has lived in Beijing for many years, Gu Fan's room is quite tidy, even the books piled on the floor are arranged in an orderly manner, and there is a faint smell of sandalwood in the room. "Hello, Haidian Criminal Investigation Detachment, Zhao Xincheng." The opening remarks were clichéd, and I held out my hand.

Gu Fan shook my hand gently.His palms are broad and strong, his nails are neatly trimmed, and his skin has a healthy bronze color; there is no smell of smoke on his body, and there are no traces of smoke oil on his knuckles; his hair is pulled back, from the tip of the beauty to the He was a little bald at the end; he was wearing gray trousers and a blindingly white silk double-fold sleeve shirt, and the "crying card" cufflinks alone would probably be worth the price of my outfit. "I have already answered your police's questions." Gu Fan's attitude was very polite, his thick voice matched his appearance, but it was a little hoarse, "Is there anything else I can do to help?"

"The protection measures are very strict, so you don't have to be afraid." Yuan Shi told me when I went upstairs, that Gu Fan has been implemented round-the-clock protection measures in three shifts, and the entire No. 16 East Street courtyard is under surveillance. "But after all, it is impossible for you to hide at home like this all the time. If you want to resume normal work and life, it is the safest way to help us arrest Han Bin and bring him to justice." "I didn't want to hide at home. It was your police who didn't allow me to go out—of course, to protect me." The pause between Gu Fan's words showed that he was very clear about his identity as the bait, "Actually, there is no need to trouble you to do this, society It is a waste of resources to have so many cases waiting to be dealt with.”

I saw Lao He talking to a policeman on duty at the door of the kitchen, and Yuan Shi was looking at the paintings on the wall with his hands behind his back—in my opinion, it was more like ink graffiti, which was quite abstract.Gu Fan put his weight on his left leg and kept patting the ground with his right foot, obviously urging me to get down to business. "Can I smoke?" I scanned around again and found that there was no smoking equipment in the room. Gu Fan didn't show any bored expression, he just walked to the bookcase, took out a small decorative colored glaze bowl from it, and handed it to me: "Please do."

The bowl was so exquisite that I was a little embarrassed, and I temporarily suppressed my addiction to smoking: "Do you know Han Bin? Or..." "I've answered this question before: I haven't met him in person, but I have known him for a long time." Gu Fan spread his hands generously, "Juanjuan often mentions him, maybe she thinks that facing it calmly is the only way to escape from the past. way—of course, the results don't seem to be." I calmly changed the title to "you": "Chen Juan often mentioned Han Bin? In front of you?" "Oh, as a man, it's a little hard to accept."

"Then do you know why Han Bin came to retaliate against you? I mean, you members of the St. Raytheon Foundation Medical Assistance Corps... 1994, Cambodia, Khmer Rouge - you should remember ?” Just like what Yuan Shi told me, Gu Fan's answer was: "I know." Then his expression was also the same as what Yuan Shi told me, which can be interpreted without ambiguity as: But I don't want to say. I calmly looked at this doctor who was dressed like the boss of a foreign company.According to Yuan Shi, the past few days of repeated inquiries have been fruitless, and the hospital leaders, teachers, classmates, alumni, etc. have been searched all over... But Gu Fan obviously does not want to disclose any information to anyone.

"Why?" I blurted out. "Huh?" Gu Fan tilted his head. "Aren't you worried about being killed? Or don't you want Han Bin to be arrested?" I put the small bowl in my hand on the coffee table and took out a cigarette. "The information you provided may become an important clue for us to arrest him. He has Killing almost all members of your medical team, I don't think he will stop unless you and Liang Xiao die." Gu Fan picked up a white mug from the desk and put it to his mouth, as if he was testing the temperature with his lips: "I do have two doctorate degrees...but it's not 'stupid like a doctor'."

"Liang Xiao found someone to deal with Han Bin, didn't he?" "Lao Peng once mentioned something on the phone, but I don't remember it very clearly." "Do you believe that the person Liang Xiao is looking for can settle this matter?" "Actually, it doesn't matter... Of course, objectively speaking, we are in the open, and the other party is in the dark... Besides, I don't think finding someone more violent than Han Bin can stop his violence." "Han Bin is avenging Chen Juan's death, I'm guessing right, right?" "I once replied: 'I think it is probably'-after all, I didn't ask him personally, so I can't be sure that it must be the reason."

"Then it seems that Chen Juan's death was not accidental." Gu Fan swallowed the contents of the cup lightly, and didn't continue to answer me. I could see his Adam's apple rolling up and down. Just when I was about to make indirect remarks in another way, he said again: "Actually, we should all die there...Juanjuan is dead, as well as Lao Gao and Dongfang. No matter who dies, it can't be called an accident, it's just us Everyone's final destination." Yuan Shi came to the side at some point: "Did you kill Chen Juan?" Gu Fan smiled awkwardly, and I saw a trace of contempt from the corner of his mouth—real, undisguised contempt, aimed at the person who asked the question in front of him, he obviously disdained Yuan Shi's surprise attack Ask a question, or the question itself.

He didn't kill it. Yuan Shi ignored it, as if he was talking to himself: "You have hang Faki's abstract color ink diptych on the wall. I can't tell if it's a fake or not, but I recognize this group of paintings. The last time I came here It sounds familiar—"The Rage and Confession of Original Sin", right? Which original sin are you repenting for? Gluttony? Greed? Sloth? Wrath? Pride? Lust? Envy?... You killed Chen Juan, why? Jealousy— - because she's still in touch with Hanbin? Arrogant - because she outdid you professionally? Angry - because you guys had a conflict of opinion? All of you survivors were involved in the murder, right? Tell you... " Before I could interrupt Yuan Shi's arbitrary speculation, there was a commotion outside the door, and then Liu Qiang rushed in: "Han Bin! Found Han Bin!" "Han Bin just appeared on the Longfusi Pedestrian Street in the west, and was discovered by the patrolling police station. At first they were not sure, so they followed for a while, but when they followed Qianliang Hutong, they were attacked." Liu Qiang got into the car. After greeting us, he continued, "The grandson has gone crazy! He attacked the police with an weapon and stabbed the two brothers! One of them consciously switched on the emergency call frequency to call for help from the command center, saying that Han Bin was walking along the East Street of the Art Museum. Escaped to the south. The Bai Bureau just got the news and has sent people to support. Now the Dongsi Police Station is blocking the line from Longfu Temple to here, and people from the Longfu Temple Police Station and Longfu Temple Hospital are rushing to the scene to treat the police... The situation is urgent, and the command center requires all surrounding police forces to immediately concentrate and surround the area from Art Museum East Street to Broad Street!" "Emergency call" is an orange button on the top of the police walkie-talkie. Once activated, all the stations in the frequency band will become in a state of receiving but not sending, in order to protect the channel between the main station and the emergency call. unobstructed.This cannot be pressed randomly, and it can only be activated in critical situations where police officers are suddenly seriously violated illegally.And once the emergency call is made, the command center will use GPS to locate the station at the same time, and all the surrounding police forces must go to support it unconditionally. "How many people do we have here?" Yuan Shi asked. "Not counting the three of you, twenty-one." Liu Qiang started the police car and sounded the siren, "I ordered a group of people to stay, and the two groups went around Ping'an Avenue to set up checkpoints at the intersection of Kuan Street, and the remaining group was in the back Come with us in the car." I'm fairly familiar with Dongcheng: "Where is the alley of Liangguochang?" "The Jingshan Police Station is coming from that direction, and the Dongcheng Public Security Detachment is responsible for blocking the remaining main roads." Yuan Shi was obviously satisfied with this efficiency: "The siege is complete?" "should be." He looked at me again: "Han Bin seems to have picked the wrong time to visit Gu Fan this time." I didn't say anything. The car was quiet for a while, and Yuan Shi couldn't hold back anymore: "OK, I surrender! I admit that he shouldn't be such a simple criminal. It's better if you have any opinions." I glanced at Lao He. "I'm a forensic doctor, so I don't know much about criminal investigation." He flatly refused, then stared back coldly, to see how I could further interpret the repeated villain. Indeed, Bin should not have exposed himself in such a simple way, let alone stabbing the policeman following him with a knife like a mentally retarded egg-of course, maybe he was crazy, anyway, he did, didn't he? "I have no opinion other than to say we were lucky." That's half true, because I really don't see any intrigue behind the situation. Liu Qiang asked through the phone in the car, "How are those two brothers?" The answer came from the telephone station: People from the police station have arrived at the scene, but the ambulance from the hospital has not yet arrived. He asked again, "Where are the two brothers?" Our car rushed through the red light on the East Street of the Art Museum, and there was a burst of electricity from the telephone station, and then everyone heard the reply: "The person has not been found yet, and the search is ongoing." Reports from various units involved in the round-up came from the station one after another. Needless to say, they were all: the person has not been found yet. Since I was sitting in the back, I had to lean forward and prick my ears to deconstruct the vocals from the radio interference, but soon, I found myself staring at the front fascinatedly. As for what I was looking at, I thought I don't know, but I immediately reacted—— Yes, everything—everything Bin did, had a purpose. "Is this car from our detachment?" I asked. "The one in the back is." Liu Qiang just turned back from the non-motorized vehicle lane to the main road, and was honking his horn vigorously. "This is the patrol car borrowed from us by the Dongsi Police Station. It is much better than Santana, the master of our detachment." I muttered: "So, the car that Bin hijacked also had a talking station?" Yuan Shi turned around as if shocked: "That police car at the Di'anmen Police Station! That car also had a radio... He burned that car...Damn! He took the radio from the car! Officer Liu, turn around and go back Hurry up and contact the people left behind, Han Bin is going to Gu Fan's place!" Liu Qiang didn't quite understand the situation, but the speed of the car slowed down: "What's wrong?" Yuan Shi was about to grab the steering wheel: "No one was injured! No one found Han Bin! He stole the police car and removed the radio from it! He was the one who initiated the emergency call and called all the police around! " "Hurry up and contact the brothers who stayed in No. 16 Courtyard, we may have been scammed." As I said, I anxiously glanced at Lao He from the corner of my eye. "Also check to see if anyone found the injured policeman at the scene." Liu Qiang slammed the steering wheel, and I was thrown onto Lao He. "No one was found at the scene! I found the lost telephone station!" I heard Liu Qiang relay the reply from the telephone station as soon as I sat down.He swerved the car so much that I couldn't help but worry that it might overturn before we reached Courtyard 16. "Then quickly contact the person who stayed behind..." "I've been in touch." Yuan Shi held the walkie-talkie, his body swaying uncontrollably with the car, "No one answered." Judging from the scene, Bin's course of action might look like this: First, he chose a commanding height where he could observe the surroundings of Gu Fan's residence, and spent a while to confirm the police's control, and then used the radio obtained from the burnt police car twenty minutes ago to create a fake of emergencies. In order to ensure that most of the police force in the No. 16 courtyard can be transferred away, he first made an emergency call in the tone of an attacked policeman, and then used two mobile phone numbers to dial 110, and the rest was to wait for us to get in the car and leave. go. Of course, he may well have been listening to calls on the police band at the same time. Of the five policemen staying at the No. 16 courtyard, two were in the police car at the entrance of the building, one was in the security duty room at the entrance of the courtyard, one was in charge of mobile inspections, and one was in Gu Fan's room.Bin must have bypassed the main entrance to enter the No. 16 Courtyard. Moreover, in the name of Liu Qiang, he requested the command center to notify the left-behind personnel to change the communication frequency band through the emergency frequency band—so far, he has successfully transferred No. 16. All police forces in the hospital were cut off from the outside world. This isolation was very short, and it took us less than fifteen minutes to go back and forth—but for Bin, it was enough. According to the information provided by the canteen in the courtyard, Bin bought a can of milk tea from there. When he suddenly appeared on the left side of the police car, he used this can of drink to smash the window of the car, and then found that the door was actually unlocked.The brother sitting in the driver's seat was hit on the head, maybe a punch or an elbow, and he was gone immediately; Bin opened the door to drag the stunned man out, got into the driver's cab, and closed the door; the co-pilot tried to use the radio to call for help The policeman compared him a few times in the car, but failed to free his hand to call for help. Instead, he gave Bin the opportunity to lock the car door with the central control switch. Finally, when the policeman realized that he was invincible and was about to open the door to escape, He didn't open the door for the first time, but Bin strangled his neck with his arms from behind and put on a "live lock"-that is, he used the muscles of his forearm and upper arm to compress the carotid sinus, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, so the co-pilot The policeman on board lost consciousness within seconds. Get the sentry downstairs, go upstairs. There are two doors in Gu Fan's residence, but the anti-theft door outside is not locked—this is quite normal, and it is not a mistake.Bin opened the anti-theft door and knocked on the door.The policeman in the room came to answer the door, but Bin Lianmen kicked him back before the door opened.The bruise on the back of his head should have been knocked when he fell to the ground, and the cause of his coma was the heavy blow under his left cheek. It can be said that Bin lived up to Yuan Shi's "expectations", and his every move was swift and resolute and exquisite. I'm a little puzzled: Could it be that he has already started designing all this since the breakout of the Drum Tower?It's been a while since he stole the police car and removed the radio until we found Gu Fan. Why didn't he start before the police implemented protective monitoring?Now that the police in the whole city are searching for him, but he must commit crimes against the wind?In broad daylight, openly attacking the police and breaking in, Bin can't understand what consequences this will lead to. Didn't he intend to seek death? Of course, what puzzles me the most is: it took so much thought and effort, even at the cost of declaring war on the public security system in the entire capital—— In the end, he didn't kill Gu Fan. The living room that was neat and tidy to us twenty minutes ago is now a mess: coffee table, bookcase, chairs... and the set of "The Rage and Confession of Original Sin" are no longer in their original positions.Gu Fan sat on the sofa that had just been lifted up and was being bandaged. A fierce fight not only forced him to clean up the house, but also to clean up himself—I saw blood on his forehead. When I teased Yuan Shi, "I really appreciate the current decoration style of this room", I had to admit: I still have a lingering dislike for Gu Fan. Gu Fan looked a little embarrassed, but his expression was still calm.He told us: Bin kicked open the door, knocked the policeman unconscious, and then announced "with awe and dignity" that the day of revenge for Chen Juan had finally come. I scratched my chin: "You are not a disciple of USTU, are you?" Yuan Shi ignored me, and the voice of the question raised significantly: "It seems that he didn't succeed." Gu Fan spread his hands to show us the scene in the room: "I... react instinctively." "And then?" I asked with great interest, "How about the outcome?" Gu Fan looked directly at me and forgave my rudeness: "I am not his opponent." I ignored the obstructions from all eyes around me: "Aha? Then...he put on the championship belt and ran happily after he defeated you?" Yuan Shi finally turned his head towards me impatiently. "No, he didn't intend to kill me when he came here today." Gu Fan's words drew Yuan Shi's and my attention back, "He said it would be too cheap to just let me die like this." "Oh?" I glanced at Lao He: his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he seemed to be concentrating on treating the wound on Gu Fan's head. "Then what does he want to do?" Yuan Shi asked eagerly. Gu Fan's Adam's apple rolled twice, and his eyes were a little red: "He said that he would make me suffer twenty-four hours waiting to die - at this time tomorrow, no matter how many policemen are present, he will come to kill me. " After saying this, we were all stunned. My first reaction was disbelief, inexplicable even.Yes, Bin must have been here.Creating emergencies, luring away the security personnel, attacking the left-behind policemen, breaking into the door, etc., he must have done it.The problem is, he spent a lot of time and effort to make a fuss, but at the last moment, he was so arrogant that he confused the contradictions-turning a simple personal grievance into a frontal provocation against the country's judicial system-is he crazy? "He really..." "Officer Zhao, he asked me to bring you a sentence." Gu Fan interrupted my words first, and then interrupted my thinking, "He wanted me to tell you: Do you still remember what he said that night? " "If I really want to kill him, you can't stop me." Damn, he's really crazy. Bureau Bai has followed the command car to the gate of No. 16 Courtyard, calling everyone to a meeting.After going out, I first asked Lao He: "That injury..." "It wasn't a blow injury, it should have been knocked after falling, and the brow bone was not injured." I looked at the thoughtful Yuan Shi again: "You don't really believe what he said, do you?" Yuan Shi was speechless at first, and stopped when he walked downstairs: "It is possible that Gu Fan deliberately provoked a confrontation between Han Bin and the police, but can any of you tell me why he didn't kill Gu Fan?" The three of us looked at each other, looked down, and looked up at each other. Old He said first: "Maybe it's not that complicated, he just hates Gu Fan too much." I disagree: "Then take him hostage and find a secluded place to stab him." "We came back in time, it's too inconvenient for him to take hostages and escape..." "It's really difficult for someone with Gu Fan's body shape to break through." Yuan Shi changed the subject, put his hand to his mouth, and pointed at me, "But if you just want Gu Fan to endure the torture of fear, why not tell him: 'I will come to kill you some day in the future' - an uncertain time can make us unable to do anything, but it is also enough to make Gu Fan fearful for a lifetime." Lao He raised his eyebrows at Yuan Shi's way of thinking, "What's the use of saying this? The most realistic question for you is whether he will come tomorrow." I thought about it and said, "He won't." Yuan Shi lived up to everyone's expectations and sang the opposite stage with me again: "No, he will come." In my opinion, Yuan Shi's ideas are like Li Duanyu's "Six Meridians Sword", which always seems to be ineffective sometimes.As a technical consultant in crime profiling, it may be harmless, but the prospect of leading a team to solve a case is really worrying. "You just believe he's such an idiot?" "His approach is becoming more and more dramatic." Yuan Shi automatically filtered out my question, "If it weren't for the mainland, he would very much hope to become another Jesse-style controversial legend—don't get me wrong, I'm not insinuating You are Coward Bob." "Yuan Dagui, you don't have post-traumatic stress disorder, do you?" Anyway, I don't know the names of the foreigners he mentioned. "Is there anyone who is whiter...more legendary than you?" Yuan Shi didn't seem to care about my slander at all: "During the time you went to the south, Beijing also did a lot of investigation work, and almost found out which newsstand Han Bin went to buy magazines. But everything in his daily life It's ordinary, and it's as ordinary as it is ordinary, as normal as it is normal. Do you know what that means?" Can maintain a normal life while committing extremely violent crimes—a typical antisocial personality. "Han Bin is not a murderer hiding in the mountains or a pervert hiding in the basement. He has family, friends, and colleagues. He has a normal job and social life. He will go to the convenience store to buy things, go to the court, and go to the ticket office. , paying taxes and violating the rules and regulations... is such a person who has left a record of his life everywhere in the society, but we don't know him at all. We don't even know what his motive for killing people is now. So we don't know why he would kill so Many people—naturally, I don’t know why he would let one of them go.” "Unless," Lao He interjected, "know why he killed people." I think this question is not difficult: "Through those three years of military service, he only kills two kinds of people: those who he thinks are guilty and those who may hinder him from continuing to commit crimes." Yuan Shi asked, "Isn't he avenging Chen Juan?" "Oh, I included Zhang Mingkun - even though he didn't do it himself." Old He asked, "Then why didn't he kill Su Zhen?" "Because Su Zhen didn't patronize Yunnan Pianma back then..." Lao He's eyes told me that there was no need to continue. At the same time, Yuan Shi asked: "Where is Wang Rui? Help the police uphold justice?" "Maybe he couldn't bear the beauty to die one after another, or Xiao Jiang's death made him have to do me a favor? Maybe he planned to take this opportunity to mess up the clues? Who knows. Anyway, killing Wang Rui was his biggest mistake." "At least he never killed a good man." "But I don't think the three boys outside the west wall of Haidian Hospital deserve to be executed." Yuan Shi muttered thoughtfully: "Those three victims are the weirdest part." "As I said, this should belong to the witnesses who prevented him from continuing to commit crimes." "You and Han Bin were ambushed that night, did you see the face of the assassin clearly?" "Why do you ask this? It was very dark at the time, and..." "I've read the transcript, and you didn't describe the assassin's appearance in detail—I have a general understanding of the situation. This is a typical lack of sightings in an emergency, which is normal." Yuan Shi took a few steps on the spot, "I think you I also understand... Well, you know, I know, will Han Bin know?" I seemed to hear a soft noise in my brain. Lao He said: "Maybe he was in a hurry to escape from the scene, so..." "Then why didn't he kill that child as well? It can't be said that killing three people will help restore rational thinking?" "Then why do you think he killed those three people?" "I think this may involve his years in South Asia...Zhao Xincheng, what are you thinking?" I didn't want to answer him, but asked instead: "Can you know better than me what happened to him in South Asia in those years?" "I don't know what happened." Yuan Shi emphasized the second half of the sentence, "but I can probably guess what the consequences were... Besides, you haven't told me what you're thinking." I smiled, and my body relaxed a bit: "I was thinking, I won't go with you guys to meet the white man. Time is running out, I plan to pay a visit to President Liang of the Well Group." Yuan Shi looked in the direction of the command vehicle and was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, let's meet again when you come back." "Oh yes, about tomorrow." I said while calling the police on duty downstairs to help me find a car, "I still insist that he won't come. This opinion, you--Old He, help me Pass on to the next white board." Lao He nodded, Yuan Shi was still not reconciled: "Are you so sure?" "I'm sure, he's not a multi-personality serial killer with a tragic past and a heavy fate. He's not as legendary as you think." "So Gu Fan is lying? Besides you and Han Bin, does anyone else know the conversation between you two on the night Zhang Mingkun committed suicide?" "That's not true." This part of Gu Fan's report should be true, not only in terms of content, but even the way of expression is in line with Bin's usual style, "But Bin always wants to be ahead of us, he knows what we will think , How to do it, and then take corresponding countermeasures. Since we will focus on marking this area from now on, he will definitely not come." Yuan Shi applied the cheerful tone of my thoughts and said: "It seems that you think he will attack Liang Xiao?" Lao He murmured, "That means the detachment should protect Liang Xiao?" "According to Officer Zhao's thinking, if we go to protect Liang Xiao, Han Bin will come to kill Gu Fan, right? Can't he always think ahead of us?" "Wouldn't it be over if we do protective monitoring on both sides?" Old He laughed, "'Be more cowardly', this is the traditional style of play of our detachment." "You don't need to think about it, you know that Lao Bai must arrange it like this." When I saw the car coming, I turned and left, "Remember to tell Lao Bai for me!" Yuan Shi shouted from behind: "Where do you think he will appear tomorrow? Gu Fan or Liang Xiao?" I closed the car door and rolled down the window: "What a loser! He won't go either way."
